My Dear: This Fair is wonderful - an education for any and every age. Will talk to you when I get home as it would easily fill a book to write what we have seen. Youngsters and I are fine and enjoying every minute.

Hello Al; couldn’t write sooner. I’ve been busy as hell. Already completed a paint job and am now considering an offer to play in a speakeasy. There’s more dough in working in clubs than in the Worlds Fair. This sure is one tough Burg. You’ll enjoy every minute in this town. Fair is exquisite. I’ll write later.

Dear Alice—Wish you are here with us to enjoy the Fair - The “Adler Planetarium will interest you – Prof. Fox gives a lecture there every hour – (very interesting) – Chicago heat is not very pleasant – Will be leaving here tomorrow –

Hall of Science and Tower of Sky Ride

Went to the top of this tower today. It is over six hundred ft. high and I was deaf when I returned to earth.

We had dinner here the first evening. We are now in the streets of Paris where there are mobs waiting to see more than they can. There is plenty of activity around here and the grounds are very scenic with a color scheme of orange yellow green blue and silver. Went up in the sky rocket. Yesterday one of the cars stuck halfway across the lagoon and the passengers waited for hours until some heroes (?) walked the cables and brought the car back to safety.

This fort is so realistic it makes one feel as tho they were living years ago.

Arrived here O.K. at about 8 in the morning. Have a Y.M.C.A. room about 18 blocks from fair grounds. (10 min ride) Went to ball game first day. Cubs & Cards was great. Yesterday fair. Is wonderful. Having great time. Sleeping late. Picture on front is one of many things we saw at fair yesterday.

Swiss Village

Dear Papa,
We had a big day yesterday. This is a Swiss water wagon. The village was especially good. Fair is much better, lights are more beautiful than last year. The fountain is lighted at 9 P.M. We stayed to see it and got in about 10:45 P.M. We had a good nights sleep. Hope you are all right.

Looking South Over the World's Fair Grounds

We're enjoying ourselves greatly. Will have some more pictures to show when we see you.

Dear Grace, Walked to the Fair and had a grand day from 8.30 to 8.30. Suzie (?) so excited her chief thrill is walking over bridges & going up & down stairs. The Fair has many new things but I liked the tone (?) better last year.

Interior Ford Motor Company Exhibit

This shows only a part of the exhibition hall. One exhibit shows rubber trees growing and how the latex is gathered and converted into rubber, and the mixture of rubber with other substances for the munufacture of the tires. In a little theatre one may see the whole process of manufacture & assembly. In the gardens outside are show reproductions of "Roads of the World." A fine exhibit.
